Improving Analytical Capacity & Understanding Social Drivers in Agriculture – Collaboration Opportunity

Innovarum is looking to engage with partners and coordinators interested in preparing a strong Horizon Europe proposal for the topic “Improving analytical capacity and understanding of social drivers in agriculture to better assess social sustainability in the sector.”

We bring proven experience working on social dynamics, behavioural drivers and multi-actor engagement in agriculture, thanks to our participation in key EU projects such as:

• COOPID – Analysing motivations, barriers and success factors for primary producers through peer-to-peer learning and social innovation approaches.

• MainstreamBIO – Engaging rural actors to understand drivers of adoption, local needs, behavioural aspects and community-led transformation.

Our added value for this topic

• Expertise in social sustainability assessment, behavioural insights and stakeholder-driven methodologies.

• Experience analysing farm-level decision-making, adoption barriers, community dynamics and social acceptance.

• Concept development for robust, evidence-based analytical frameworks combining qualitative and quantitative methods.

• Full proposal writing, ensuring methodological soundness, strong impact pathways and a compelling narrative.

• Consortium building with social scientists, agricultural organisations, rural networks and end-user groups.

If you are considering coordinating or joining a consortium for this topic, we would be happy to discuss potential collaboration during the event.
